JFK's granddaughter, Tatiana Schlossberg, reveals terminal cancer diagnosis in heartbreaking essay

JFK granddaughter Tatiana Schlossberg reveals terminal cancer diagnosis on 62nd anniversary of his assassination, sharing her battle with rare leukemia.

"My first thought was that my kids, whose faces live permanently on the inside of my eyelids, wouldn’t remember me," she wrote in an essay for The New Yorker. "My son might have a few memories, but he’ll probably start confusing them with pictures he sees or stories he hears." A post shared by Maria Shriver (@mariashriver)

She said she "didn’t ever really get to take care of my daughter—I couldn’t change her diaper or give her a bath or feed her, all because of the risk of infection after my transplants. I was gone for almost half of her first year of life. I don’t know who, really, she thinks I am, and whether she will feel or remember, when I am gone, that I am her mother."
